Tips from locals
Bartram's Garden is a historic Philadelphia garden and arboretum. It is the oldest surviving botanic garden in North America. Located on the west bank of the Schuylkill River, it covers 46 acres and includes a historic botanical garden and arboretum.
These gardens were created by John Bartram (a close friend and associate of Benjamin Franklin) and then maintained by his son, William, in the late 18th century. This is a peaceful spot on the Schuykill River where you can ever borrow kayaks and fishing gear on occasion!
